Batchelors' Housing Management Department has been acting for housing associations for over twenty five years and at present we act for approximately forty organisations.

We offer a comprehensive and expert service in all aspects of housing management litigation and the Department regularly deals with very high profile cases of national importance.

Our services include:

• Possession Cases

  From straightforward rent arrears possession cases, dealing with all types of residential occupation, including secure, assured and assured shorthold tenants to licences and non-secure occupiers, the Department regularly secures Possession Orders to remove unlawful occupiers, sub-tenants, non occupiers and squatters.

  The team also deals with tenants who cause nuisance or harassment or breach other key provisions of their tenancy agreements, including obtaining tenancies by deception.

• Nuisance & Antisocial Behaviour

  The Department is regularly instructed to bring possession proceedings to deal with tenants and other occupiers whose behaviour is disruptive and antisocial towards neighbours, members of staff and contractors.

  We were the first firm in the country to obtain an Antisocial Behaviour Order (ASBO) for a registered social landlord in the Magistrates' Court. We regularly deal with ASBO applications, both in the County Court and Magistrates' Court, and any resulting appeals.

The Department has conducted cases which have been heavily defended, high profile and reported in the local and national press.
